[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how this is going to pan out, but it sounds similar to what APS is doing anyways. They basically are eliminating the option of taking Algebra as a 7th grader -- very very few kids are recommended for it because Math 6/7/8 has been too intense for most kids. As long as the default is you take Algebra as an 8th grader (as opposed to a 9th grader), and they don't get rid of traditional math classes like Geometry and Trig/Pre-calc, I think its ok. I'm a little concerned with getting rid of intensive classes until 10th grade -- there are intensive English/Social Studies classes start at 9th, so it seems like that is the logical place to start intensified classes in Math if you are scaling things back.
